Event Coverage **2nd Annual Phoenix-Arizona Hot Rod Hundred, Saturday April 25th**

If we didn't pre-order a shirt, will they still be available at the run? Do you have any info on start time and place yet?

 

We ordered some extra shirts, with the order that I placed for the SWMO HRH, M thru XXL. If you can pre-order the shirts before the week of the event, it will help us ship the right amount of shirts, so that we don't get hit with excessive shipping charges.

Easiest way to pre-order your t-shirt is to send $25 to [email protected], via paypal, and include Phoenix HRH and what size T-shirt you are want in the note section. We'll ship them directly to Doug, so he has them at check-in.

In the event that we run out of shirts in the size that you are requesting, the next order will be late August/early September, preparing for the fall HRH events.

 

Done!

 

Guys, thanks for all the responses!

I have been super busy but this weekend I will prerun the route and post of the final route for everyone to see.

Sorry for the delay but I want to make sure it is awesome!

 

Ok, well I have some more of the details hammered out for The 2015 Arizona HRH.

First off we have an official starting point at 20635 N Cave Creek Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85024 in the parking lot of Dolphin Pools just north of the loop 101 on Cave Creek Rd. for registration and T-shirts from 9am-10am on Saturday morning April 25th.



We have reservations at Porters Cafe in Superior, Arizona http://www.yelp.com/biz/porters-cafe-superior for the afternoon of April 25th on the Patio. I recommend Porter's Green Chili burger and homemade fries it is the best!

Stay tuned as I will be posting the final route shortly...

 

Should be a good time. Take lots of pics.

 

Wish I could make it out. Looking forward to coverage!

Oh Man... Wish I could but... I need to go back to Seattle for a few weeks. I'd love to join you guys next year.

BTT............T-shirts are headed West for the run so pre-register now to ensure you get yours.

If you pre-register I will have you T-shirt at the event to pick up or you can take a chance I don't run out.

Two weeks away now so get to thrashing on your cars because you will not want to miss this one!

 

Gonna be a good time.......wish I could make it.

 

Wish it wasn't so far, we had a blast here at the SW MO one two weeks ago!! Met lots of cool people and just an all round good event!

 

Be sure and get lots of pics. You guys have some beautiful scenery out there.

 

The wife is into bringing out the '55 for this run.

 

Great, I plan on driving my '55 Chevy on the run to change things up.............Two weeks ago I attended the Hot Rod Round About in North San Diego County did 130 miles in Model A coupe with a worn out 59A Flathead and '39 3 speed so this will like driving a modern car in comparison.

 

Something reliable this time?

Great seeing you there. I was so sleep deprived that morning I didn't recognize anybody!

OK guys, we lowered the price to $20 on the shirts to keep it simple. If you pre-ordered, you have a credit on PP now.

 

Hey Jerry, it was good to see you in San Diego, and it was challenge to make 130 miles when I kept blowing cooling hoses off.

The old '55 is very reliable but also quick, 355ci, 2.02 Valve Double-humps, .510 lift cam, early vette intake, headers and Muncie 4 spd. and 4:11 posi

 

Yesterday I ran the Route in its entirety and wow does it have some beautiful scenery!

The full directions are posted on the first post and here is teaser photo of our mid way stop on the Salt River.

This will allow everyone to stretch their legs and all the other cars catch up.

 

I'm ready! Shoot, I even wiped some of the dirt off the beast this weekend!

 

Wish I could be there this weekend!

 

Is the route going to be published before the weekend? I can't seem to see it

 

For some reason I have not been able to upload the directions or any pictures this week????

So I will cut and paste the route here for those want to see it before we run it:

2nd Annual Arizona HOTROD HUNDRED Reliability Run

 

Looks to be a blast men!! Tell a friend!!

 

How long did the route take you on the test run? If I can join sat, I may have to turn back towards town once we hit the 60 due to time

 

I think I'm going to have to wuss out. I don't really want to have a 4 hour drive back home in the rain Sunday

 

The route was about 106 miles and 2 1/2 to 3 hours start to finish one way, but for me it will be about 200 total to get back home......no big deal and it should be dry all day Saturday.

 

Holy Crap! Good thing I checked this post tonight instead of tomorrow, 'cause I was sure this was Sunday! Unfortunately, the radiator in the 'Bucket decided to merely retain part of the water it's supposed to hold earlier this week, and hopefully the "repairs" that are currently drying will stem the tide a bit and make tomorrow feasible.

If all goes well, I'll see everybody tomorrow!

 

DON'T FORGET THE CAMERAS...

why am I yelling?
